Miso-Stuffed Eggplant
There are dozens of kinds of miso, each with its own aroma and flavor. All are packed with protein. Whether you use sweet and fine-textured, salty and rough, smooth and tart, or any one of the many other types is strictly a matter of taste. For this dish, however, a sweet version is recommended.
